3 It's a trick question! Haha, got you! with careful overdrive grids, the 9 mex scenario makes up that 2 m/s! 3 It's a trick question! Haha, got you! with careful overdrive grids, the 9 mex scenario makes up that 2 m/s!

5 cathartes and Rhade did an attempt at solving it in this thread, good on you! But, cathartes overlooked a key problem, if you overdrive all the excess energy to metal, you have no energy to SPEND that metal. Going over the scenarios again but only overdriving 8 energy each, you get much cleaner numbers. In 10 mex scenario, 8e = 4e/mex * 2mex then 2( 4e = 50%OD) = 2 * 1 = 2m, and you can spend that 2m with the left over 2 energy. In the 9 mex scenario, split 12 excess e into 8 and 4, 8e = 1e/mex *8mex then we get 8( 1e = 25%OD) = 8 * . 5 = 4 metal. the 4 metal can be spent with that 4 energy I reserved from earlier. the 9 mex scenario generates an extra 2m/s, gapping the bridge between the mex difference generating the same income. 5 cathartes and Rhade did an attempt at solving it in this thread, good on you!

7 video demonstration here for completeness. you need to pause to see everything because I move kind of fast and have no mic and don't edit my videos, sorry. 7 video demonstration here for completeness. you need to pause to see everything because I move kind of fast and have no mic and don't edit my videos, sorry.
